They Flushed.


 There are times when even the innocent laughter of merry girlhood grates harshly on our ears; when the artlees prattIe that rip pies from care free hearts becomes >intolera- ble, and when a 6endish desire to destroy the guileless merry maker consumes us. sat the other evening at Hooley's, absorbed in contemplation of MT. Mansfeld's art that is, I tried to be absorbed. But just back of me sat theater party of fo1r, and the two girls were evidently under the i'm pression that they were looking at sort of Jack-in-the- box; that when you shut down the lid on Jekyll, up jumped Hyde, and vice versa It was funny of them, and they snickered and giggled and made cute remarks until thought seriously of abandoning my otherwise desirable seat. But I was spared the necessity. A gentleman who sat next to me and suffered equally with me put a period to the frivolous jabbering in manner at once discreet and effective. In the street scene where Mir. Hyde comes sneaking upon the stage, glancing fearfully in all directions, the first thing that appears in his hand laid upon portion of the scenery.
 "Oh! There he comes" giggled one of the fair ceskets of inanity. 'I see his hand, te hep
 "Wheres don't see it''
 "Why there! Oh my! how awful! He he he!''
 At this stage the gentleman beside me turn ed squarely around and said to the young lad ies with undeniable emphasis, but without the suspicion of 8 growl:
 twill you hush?'
 The silence that fell upon that erstwhile merry party was not broken all the rest of the evening by anything more disturbing than a subdued whisper. The effect upon the thoughtless damsels was somewhat enhanced when turned and warmly shook hands with the gentleman that rebuked them. I dare say they voted us two great brutes.

The Narrow Escape From Death of
 Two old Ladies.
 WALLINGFoRD, Nov. 4.-The dwelling house and barns of the Misses Hall at East Farms were destroyed by fire last night and the Misses Hall barely escaped with their lives They are sisters-in-law of John Hall, president of the Wallingford Dime Savings bank, and are about seventy years of age and have lived alone. In the barns adjoining their spacious house was about thousand dollars' worth of hay, grain and other farm products belonging to them and John Stevens, who works their farm for them The ladies retired last night as usual, leav- ing everything apparently all right. About midnight they were awakened by the flames and smoke barely in time, for parts of their beds were almost on fire. They had no time to put on shoes or stockings, but fled out doors in front of the flames. The burning house set fire to the barns, which were soon burned to the ground, and so was the house. There was an insurance on the house, but the barns and contents are total losses.
 Stevens, who occupied one part of the house and worked the farm, loses over forty tons of hay, 600 bushels of apples, his whole years crop of oats, potatoes and corn. Loss upwards of $6,000.

 HIS MOTION GRANTED-A SINGULAR CASE.
 Attorney Bennett appeared before Judge Andrews yesterday ;n suit against the es- tate of man who was hung for murder, after which his innocence of the crime was shown. The case is an interesting one. NIT. Bennett is counsel for the Kootney Mining and Smelling company of this city, the mines of which are located in British Colum- bia About a year ago a miner named Sproule discovered great deposits of mineral in Kootney, British Columbia. He came to this city and got capitalists interested. stock company was formed in which the title to the mines Sproule discovered WAS passed over 10 the company and he received a share of the stock. The miner then re- turned to Kootuey and shortly afterwards was arrested for the murder of man who died under very suspicious circumstances. Sproule had no money, but he finally man aged to hypothecate his stock here and ob- tain S700 to use in defending himself against the charge. The poodle did not avail in British Columbia, however, and he was con- victed and promptly hung. Not long after wards number of witnesses were found who established the executed mans innocence of the crime for which he was hung. Sproule left two brothers in California To them as heirs of his estate the equity in the mining stock he put up collateral for the $700 loan belongs. Attorney Bennett asked Judge Andrews for all order empowering hls clients to sell the stock in order to get the money loaned Sproule back again. The court granted the order.

 comb Practising Daily in EsrOckIon.
 Newcomb of the New Ravens is practising with the Brocktons. He has done this to be all the more fitted for better playing when he reports in this city week from next Mon day This was exactly the reason why the New Haven management was not averse to letting Dunning play with the Salems until time to report. They thought it would do him good. Anybody can see that by playing regular scheduled game in the Central division nearly every day he will be ill first class trim to go right ahead and do excellent work when the season opens here. The play CTS of tEe various teams in this league will not report for duty until within very few days of the time for the season to open, so it will be seen that there will be but precious little time in which to practice beforehand. And yet there seem to be some who cannot see why the New Haven management were willing that Cunning should play with the Salems. They thought it queer. They can- not see that the New Ravens will be all the better for it.
 There is going to be polo team in Boston after all. The Herald says that T. H. Murnan has been appointed manager. The rink has been leased; and games will be played twice each week. It is the intention of the gentle men interested to build new rink in Boston, centrally located and we'll equipped, especial ly constructed for polo playing. The best talent available will be secured, and games will be layed with Central division teams, commencing next week. Baker of the old Paris and Boston teams will be the goal tend.
